Nessie's POV
I stretched and opened my eyes. Where was I? I flew up into a sitting position on the blue bed and looked around. I noticed the tiny brunette half-vampire sleeping on the love seat. I stood up and walked to the couch. Sam must've been hunting far away, he still wasn't back and it was ten AM. Wow, I slept in. Moon yawned and opened her beautiful bright topaz eyes, "What's the time?"
"Ten 'O five."
"Can you get my cheerios from the box under my bed?" She yawned, "And...some pickles?" She added sheepishly.
"Sure." I ducked under the red bed next to mine and dug through a large box stuffed with food. I threw a small plastic container marked 'Cheerios' towards Moon. It seemed like she would drop it but in a second she had it open and was pouring it into her mouth. When she was finished I handed her a jar of pickles. Man this girl loved those things.
"If you want some you can take." She said glancing towards me, "Just not the pickles."
"Thanks." I took a thing of cheerios and sat down on the couch to eat breakfast. I looked up at the sound of footsteps and saw the door dissolve.
"Sam's back." Moon muttered.
Sam ran up to Moon smiling slyly "You're so cute!" He cooed squeezing Moon's cheeks with one hand and wagging her head back and forth. When he finally let go Moon folded her arms and pouted. Sam laughed and messed her hair, making it look like a haystack. I giggled.
"Shut up!" Moon hissed, fixing her hair.
"Sorry, Moony, couldn't resist." Sam sat down on the arm rest of the loveseat chuckling. I looked at Moon, she was very short, four something, and her features had a child-like edge to them. She looked more like an eight year old than a seventeen year old.
"How tall are you?" I asked, suddenly curious.
"Four seven…" Moon frowned, apparently hating the fact that she was very short.
"Yea and she's not getting any taller…" Sam chuckled.
"SHUT UP!" Moon growled. She started to tremble like Jake did when he lost his temper. She took a deep breath and calmed down, "So…where are my cheese curls?"
"They ran out…" Sam smiled his crooked smile, "But…" He waved three tickets in Moon's face.
"The Beast! NO WAY!" Moon snatched the tickets out of Sam hand and frowned immediately, "Since when am I a child?"
"Since I found out that children under thirteen get cheaper tickets."
"Whatev." Moon shoved a ticket in my hand that said 'Circle line, Beast, adult, 2:00'
"Why are you giving me this?" I asked confused.
"You're coming with us on The Beast, my treat." Sam smiled his dazzling crooked smile.
"The Beast?"
"A REALLY fast boat!" Moon jumped up and ran to her bed, flipping through her clothes. "I HAVE to change! I can't wear this to the Beast!" She disappeared into the bathroom.
"She's really something." I laughed, something didn't really cover it.
"I know, hyper little brat." He flashed his dazzling crooked smile at me, "She's more of an eight year old than a seventeen year old.
I stared at him like an idiot, speechless.
"So umm…you're coming, right?" Sam was staring at me, forcing another blush.
"Oh, yea, sure." I smiled, "But…why do you want me to come?"
Sam smiled his dazzling crooked smile again, "Why not? We're friends now, right?" I nodded, speechless again.
Just then Moon burst out of the bathroom wearing a black jacket, a short sleeved light blue shirt that said 'too cool 4 you' on it in shining red and silver letters, and long black pants. Her long dark brown hair hung in a ponytail through the hole in her Mickey Mouse base ball cap. She noticed me staring at her and laughed "You like?"
"You look AMAZING!" I'd completely misjudged her; her personality is more like Alice's than Paul's.
"What's that?" Sam frowned, noticing a purple blemish on Moon's neck.
Moon's hand flew to her throat, "Nothing." She started towards the bathroom, apparently to cover it up with whatever makeup she had.
I ran to her and grabbed her hand, "Moon, what is that?" I whispered, unable to believe that it was a bruise. Then again, she is HALF vampire, it could be…
Sam appeared behind me and pressed his cold hand to Moon's bruised throat. "Moon…" Sam whispered when she winced, "Did Thorn do this?" He'd lost me there.
"Not on purpose…" Moon looked down. I looked from Moon to Sam, who was this 'Thorn'?
A growl rumbled in Sam's chest, "Where else did he hurt you?" He demanded sounding more like a father than a friend.
"He…he…kicked my back…" Moon whispered. I noticed her blush, so this girl had a shy side. Either that or she was embarrassed to death (no pun intended) "Look, Sam, I'm fine. Can we just…go?"
"Fine, we'll talk about this later." Sam whispered his arm around Moon's shoulder. He gave her a quick squeeze and ran to the door. I'd underestimated their relationship, more like a father and daughter then friends.
Sam's POV
I turned around after the door dissolved "C'mon guys!" I yelled
"Shut up!" Moon growled.
Little Moony seemed to be a little moody today, I smiled, "Shutting up."
Moon rolled her eyes and Nessie gave a little "tee hee" and then followed Moon down the walk. I grabbed Moon by the hood and dragged her to my flashy, dazzling, beautiful red sports car.
"Sam?"
"Yeah? What?"
"First of all, let go of my hood. You know I don't like to be dragged."
I let go of her hood, "What else?"
"Thank you. Second of all, how many times did you wash and wax your car today?"
I smiled. "Six."
"Six? What happened to the other five?"
I rolled my eyes, she hated my beautiful car. A lot. "Evening, remember?"
"Oh, right."
Suddenly, Nessie gave a loud shriek.
"What's wrong?" I asked nervously.
"Your car! Your car is burning my eyes! It's so shiny!"
Moon giggled, and I gave her a look.
"Let's just go." I growled, annoyed now.
"You can get shotgun." Moon whispered to Nessie.
"Umm…okay…thanks?" Nessie whispered, raising one eyebrow.
I chuckled under my breath, shaking my head, and got in the car at the same time as Moon and Nessie.
Please review. I NEED motivation...
